The vibrant colors and ripple-like cable pattern of this shawl are inspired by and named after sacred places in Celtic mythology. Though simple in construction, the way the delicate cable texture unfolds is truly beautiful.
The designer recommends choosing a color that clearly shows off the pattern. Swing comes in a wide range of colors, so please enjoy choosing your favorite.
This shawl has a modified arrow shape. First, the main part of the shawl is shaped by increasing stitches on every row and decreasing stitches in the center of RS rows. In the middle of the shawl, increases are made at the beginning of RS rows and decreases in the center, with increases at the end of WS rows. This maintains the overall stitch count.
The first part of the shawl is worked in garter stitch, followed by the cable pattern in the next part.
